D When using the GPS receiver
•GPSsignalscannotpassthroughmetalobjects.Whenus-
ing the ID-51A or ID-51E inside a vehicle, you may not re-
ceive GPS signals. We recommend you use it near a win-
dow. Please avoid the areas shown in the following:
 1.DONOTusewhereitwillblockthedriver’sview.
2. DO NOT use where the air bags could deploy.
3. DO NOT use where it becomes a driving obstacle.
•TheGlobalPositioningSystem(GPS)isbuiltandoperated
by the U.S. Department of Defence. The Department is re-
sponsible for accuracy and maintenance of the system. Any
changes by the Department may affect the accuracy and
function of the GPS system.
•When the GPSreceiver isactivated, please do notcover
theID-51AorID-51Ewithanythingthatwillblockthesatel-
lite signals.
•TheGPSreceivermaynotworkifusedinthefollowingloca-
tions:
1. Tunnels or high-rise buildings
 2.Undergroundparkinglots
3. Under a bridge or viaduct
4. In remote forested areas
5. Under bad weather conditions (rainy or cloudy day)
•TheGPSreceivermaynotworkifthetransceiveroperates
near the 440.205 MHz. This is due to signals made in the
internal circuit and does not indicate a transceiver malfunc-
tion.
D Spurious signals
Depending on the combination of the operating band and
mode, the Dualwatch or Triple-watch operation may generate
certain spurious signals, or noise may be heard. These do not
indicate a transceiver malfunction.

About charging at power ON
ID-51A/E’schargingcircuitchargesthesuppliedbatterypack
in approximately 3 hours. But with this rapid circuit, the bat-
terypackcannotbechargedatpowerON,bydefault.So,be
sure to turn OFF the power before charging.
When “Charging (Power ON)”* is set to ON in the MENU screen,
thebatterypackcanbechargedevenifthepowerisON.(Only
whenthebatterypackis attached, and the optional CP-12L,
CP-19RorOPC-254L externalDCpowercableisconnected
to [DC IN].) But this operation may generate certain spurious
signals; the S-meter appears, or noise may be heard.
*MENU > Function > Charging (Power ON) (Default: OFF)
•Charging time period at power ON may differ, depending on the
operating condition.
•TheexternalDCpowersupplyvoltagemustbebetween10–16V,
and the current capacity must be more than 2.5 A to charge the
batterypackwhenoperating.
•Whenyouoperatethetransceiverwhilecharging,andifyoucannot
receive signals correctly, set “Charging (Power ON)”* to OFF, and
disconnect the external DC power cable from [DC IN].
